<div class="callout note">
<strong class="callout-label">Note:</strong>
<p>This directive is still working, but deprecated. You may
want to read about <a href="ref_directive_userDefined.html#ref.directive.userDefined">user-defined directive
calls</a> to see the replacement.</p>
</div>
<p>Captures the output generated inside its body (i.e. between
its start-tag and end-tag), and let the given transform modify it
before it is written to the final output.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template">&lt;p&gt;A very simple HTML file:
&lt;pre&gt;
<strong>&lt;transform html_escape&gt;</strong>
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello word!
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
<strong>&lt;/transform&gt;</strong>
&lt;/pre&gt;</pre></div>
<p>the output will be:</p>
<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-output">&lt;p&gt;A very simple HTML file:
&lt;pre&gt;
&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;body&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Hello word!
&amp;lt;/body&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/html&amp;gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;</pre></div>
<p>Some transforms may take parameters. The name and meaning of
parameters depends on the transform in question. For example here we
give a parameter called ``var&#39;&#39;:</p>
<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template">&lt;#-- This transform stores the output in the variable x,
rather than sending it to the output --&gt;
&lt;transform capture_output<strong> var=&quot;x&quot;</strong>&gt;
some test
&lt;/transform&gt;</pre></div>
<p>It is the task of the programmers to put the necessary
transforms into the data-model. For the name and usage of accessible
transforms ask the programmers. <span class="marked-for-programmers">Initially there is a <a href="pgui_config_sharedvariables.html">shared variable</a> for
most transforms in the
<code class="inline-code">freemarker.template.utility</code> package. For more
information see: <a href="pgui_config_sharedvariables.html">Programmer&#39;s Guide/The Configuration/Shared variables</a></span></p>
